I thought long and hard about the weight of the 12" vs the 10" GSO RC and in the end listened to Paul in relation to his 12" and it's weight. I have a Losmandy GII and decided the 12" would be too much for it and so went with the 10". It guides beautifully with the 10" and there is a great reducer for it.
Just my 2c.
